Summary

Richard Gaillardetz captures the dynamics of the church as a people called by Jesus and sent into the whole world at the juncture in human history when Christianity has become a world religion and the church has become a world church. In seven magisterial chapters Gaillardetz shows how the Venerable Bede's adage that "Every day the church gives birth to the church" has become even truer in the twenty-first century than it was in the eighth.
